and when you wake i will be gone, for you take too long to know what is what.

its 19:19 and the world couldn't be less silent. words consume me and movement; movement misplaced me in the unconscious sea of my days. i live through mere seconds and die for days on end in this afflicted place. you turned to me and said that there wasn’t anything you feared. i said a wise man fears it all. you reached over and touched the palm of my hand. i try so hard now that i fall into the places you could never reach. compromising with your bones never told a blind man where he was.
